Anyone not like PDFs?

I really dont like PDFs as they are a pain to read through and if you printed it you would probably spend more money on ink than the actual book would have cost.

Most publishers actually take DIY printing costs into account when pricing PDFs, so whether you're printing on your inkjet and sticking it in a binder, or taking it to kinko's for something more durable to be done, you aren't paying more than the books in your FLGS.

The only major exception to this is DTRPG, which encourages publishers to price PDFs close to print retail prices, offering the excuse that print publishers should price things that high so they don't anger their distributors or retailers.

My biggest dislke with PDFs is that they are almost all formatted for printing, not for reading on-screen. I can't stand having to scroll up and down to read a page written in two columns.
This is gets even more annoying as the length of the document increases.

Blame it on the display industry. I've got a fancy DTP monitor that rotates 90 degress so it can display portait pages fully on the screen. It's a great feature and it really should be something that is a standard feature in consumer monitors at this point.

Unfortunately, those that are on the market are horribly expensive. Lucky for me the ad company I work for replaced all theirs two years ago, and a swung myself a deal to buy a few of the used monitors on the cheap.
